His tempo management is extraordinary. He could go 4 deaths more against his lane opponents yet he would still be ahead of gold and cs against that opponent. His map pressure and presence is massive as if you don't pay attention to him, you're gonna lose your base and your sanity thinking how a Sion with negative KDA won a game. And I love it. WP YIYI WE SHILLING

[@anjajd]

The perk of this tactic is that he is never big enough to grant huge amounts of shutdown gold when compared to other laners who will literally refuse to die as much as possible and then give the other team a chance at closing the gold gap through farm/shut down bounty.

[@jaspervermeer659]

[@KingJerbear]

It's just weird to me people even try to consider this intentionally feeding, he literally focuses farming minions and objectives over everything else on the map. This weird trend of having to go 10/0 to make an impact on the game has to go. The ONLY way to win a game is the destroy the enemy's structures, whether you have 0 or 30 kills is completely irrelevant.

[@guestofearth]

shadap

[@stormdragon2529]

but, but the kda bro lul

[@anjajd]

Precisely. It was the tactic I used playing Nazeebo in HOTS before they removed the specialist role. Farm in lane, when map objectives pop and both teams are fighting for objective, crush their base to win.

[@guifdcanalli]

also, the more you die the less you have value over kill so 0/all its good on sion, there is a point you will worth less than a canon minion while destroying an entire turret in passivr

[@PANICWORKS]

This is the one thing I love about the offlane position in dota (and to an extent soft support), sometimes "feeding" (or really just dying) is a play in and of itself to make space around the map while putting pressure on objectives. You force rotations for your low value ass (or if you're a tanky offlaner your unkillable ass) while your other teammates are free to do as they want with the pressure off of them. You may be down 10 deaths but you've taken objectives and wasted enough time from the enemy team for your carry to do the carrying. It's like the meme from Thor, you can't kill them, but he can.

[@lmao1711]

Baus is honestly one of the coolest league players out there. Creating your own play style and fighting against the META is just so appealing to me because things get boring so fast.

It was an automatic ban, which would be 99% deserved unless you play Sion, and even then, it's hard to tell if you really are just feeding or not.

League of legends and moba's in general are not balanced around indefinite pushing. They have countermeasures against constant pushing, (like in league of legends, the minions can meet at the perfect spot for the enemy team to flank you) but not indefinite pushing. So a long as your ally minions are the ones pushing, you're winning. If you're about to die, try and damage and kill the enemy minion wave, as even if you're dead, nobody before 20 minutes can tank enough tower damage and deal enough damage to take a tower above even 30% HP. Another thing is that if you die once, you're worth 300 gold. However, a second time and now you're worth 279. And this keeps going lower and lower, not until 0 but definitely lower than the krugs camp which is 131 gold. So as long as you keep killing the enemy minions before you die, yes the enemy will have gold, but soon, they won't, and you'll actually be a "pest" as they describe the Sion playstyle because you're not worth much of anything, but also applying so much pressure, and forcing them to respond. Like, imagine if every 60 seconds, there was a rift herald that spawns and runs at your towers, and when you kill it, you only get 150 gold. It would be so annoying, yet something you can't ignore, and then sometimes, more often than not, this rift herald solo kills your adc and sometimes nearly 2v1's the mid and jungler, who are supposed to be your stronger of your allies.
